I'm a freelance copywriter on a mission to make pensions, investment and finance more interesting and engaging for ordinary people. Hire me to write clear, compelling plain English content that helps people understand more about pensions, investment and finance in general, and make better decisions about their lives.

My experience covers all flavours of DB and DC pensions including communications from trustee boards and employers. Here's a selection of the subjects I deal with. DC investment education Pension scams Pensions and tax GMP reconciliation and equalisation DB-to-DC change consultations Changing RPI increases to CPI In recent years I developed a set of communications for explaining liability management offers such as pension increase exchange and enhanced transfer. When I'm not writing about pensions, my interests include: singing and acting with a couple of local am-dram societies, singing in a church choir, running, swimming, skiing, sampling as many different craft beers as possible and attempting to grow fruit and vegetables with varying degrees of success.

I've been a professional copywriter running my own copywriting agency in Singapore for over 20 years and loving it! I'm from the UK, but manifest destiny took me to sunnier climes 30 years ago and I now spend my time travelling between the two. In an age of AI everything🤖, I am passionate about keeping copy human - you know, really digging deep into who you are and who your clients are, communicating clearly the bridge you provide to take your clients from Point A, their current state, to Point B, their desired state and all the great benefits and outcomes they'll get by choosing you. I specialise in: - documenting your brand voice so that we remove the common obstacles of marketing your message - by defining it clearly for you - writing the marketing materials that move the needle for your business: web pages, sales pages, case studies, stories for social media - training your in-house team to write better copy, when you've decided not to outsource Over the last 20 years I've written for MNCs, large SMEs, government agencies and business start-ups across all industries with a focus on hospitality, education, health and IT. I love simplifying messages so they are actually understood! I'm the copywriter businesses turn to when they been burned too often by wanna-be writers promising the moon and falling far short. The most common reaction I get from my clients? "We wish we'd found you sooner!" Other good-to-knows about me: - I'm a mum to two amazing young adults - I play the sax - 🎷 in my mind it's the sexiest sound on the planet (the sax - not me playing it) - I'm a 🐶 lover but we have a 😺.🤷 I've just joined this platform so my portfolio is blank right now until I upload some samples.

Based close to Chichester, I work with clients worldwide and within all types of industry sectors. From Varicose Vein Doctors to high-end Storage Companies and everything in between! I craft devilishly compelling copy and create content strategies that help businesses flourish online. I have extensive knowledge of writing copy that helps my clients climb search engine rankings organically while appealing to their target markets. I also create offline copy for print media. And have helped many clients put together successful award applications. I have sat on expert Social Media Panels at various seminars and presented on Content Marketing on behalf of the Nelson Tasman Business Trust, BNZ bank and The Collective South Coast Business Networking Group. I have also guested on many podcasts to discuss the use of Social Media and 'blogging' for business.

I help B2B companies figure out what to say, to whom, and in what order - so they can build a strong content brand, gain trust, and generate leads. *B2B technology* is my strong suit. ● Strategic positioning - I build a unique proposition for your company based on a thorough investigation of your product, your market, your competition, and your audience ● Marketing and messaging strategy - I define your key messages and a hierarchy for them ● Content planning - I build editorial calendars and content campaign plans: messaging, pieces, formats, nurture flows ● Copywriting - I’ve got over 10 years experience writing relevant, creative copy that gets read: ebooks, blog posts, infographics, animation scripts, slideshares, promo copy, ads, the works. ● Tone of voice - I can help you find your brand’s tone of voice and train your people to become better writers ● I work in two languages: English and German (ja, echt.) What I don’t do: ● I’m not a designer. I​ can’t draw, sketch, or design a website - but I have worked with print and digital designers throughout my career. I’m happy to bounce around ideas with yours. ● I’m not a growth marketer​ or marketing automation specialist, but have worked with some of the best. I’m eager to align with the person who runs your systems so we can get our goals straight and measure the wazoo out of our marketing. What I believe in: ● Defining your goals: A lot of marketing fails because the goals of a piece or campaign get muddled somewhere along the way. Let’s define our goals at the outset, then find a way to measure performance. It’s the only way we’ll be able to find out what sticks - and do more of that. ● Respecting your audience: B2B decision-makers are super-smart professionals who’ve been around the block. They smell drivel from a mile away, and they don’t want to feel they’re being sold to. That’s why the best marketing doesn’t feel like marketing - but is made of rock solid expertise and brings genuine value to your audience. ● A confident tone of voice: 98% percent of all B2B content is anaemic. I believe the only way for B2B companies to stand out is by sounding like human beings, daring to address the things that matter, and having some fun, too. ● Leading with why. We’re all sick of business “thought leaders” quoting Simon Sinek left and right, but he’s got a point. If a company can’t connect what it does to why that matters, your audience will inevitably ask: “so what?” ● Investing in design. I’m the biggest believer in the power of new ideas and fresh language. But we all respond to images and colours first. So if we’ve figured out something good to say, let’s make sure we present it to your audience in an accessible and friendly way. Examples of my work: I’ve worked for a few big names in B2B and many more that you won’t have heard of. Most of the campaigns and pieces would need a bit of context to make sense to you. If you like what you’ve read so far, drop me a line, and I’ll send you some examples that are relevant to your industry, and what you’re trying to do.
